OITY' OF SAN BERNADINO - REQUEST Fa. COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subject: Adoption of the Development Code
REOUEST
It is requested that the Mayor and Common Council:
Set the first public hearing on the adoption of the
Development Code for Thursday, March 21, 1991.
BACKGROUND
In June 1989, after adoption of the General Plan, the Mayor
and Common Council entered into an agreement with the firm of
Jacobson and Wack, Inc., for the preparation of the
Development Code to implement the General Plan.
By the end of 1989 the City received an Administrative Draft
of the Development Code. The Administrative Draft was
reviewed by various city Departments and recommendations were
incorporated resulting in the Preliminary Draft of the
Development Code. The preliminary Draft was the subject of
Mayor and Common council workshops from February 14, 1990 to
April 11, 1990. Workshop recommendations were incorporated
into the preliminary Draft, resulting in the Final Draft of
the Development Code. The Final Draft has been reviewed
through public hearings conducted by the Planning commission
beginning August 28, 1990 and concluding on November 7, 1990
with a recommendation that the Mayor and Common Council adopt
the proposed environmental clearance and the Final Draft of
the Development Code as redlined. The Redlined Final Draft
is dated 10/90. The Mayor and Common council elected to
conduct workshops prior to public hearings. The draft
Development Code will be further modified as a result of the
workshops. That draft will be available prior to the March
21, 1991 hearing date.
The staff report which contains planning Commission
recommendations and explains the Final Draft will be
available as required prior to the public hearing. The
environmental information and recommendation will be supplied
with the staff report.

ANALYSIS
Many changes have occurred between the Administrative and
Final Drafts of the Development Code. The Mayor and Common
council were actively involved during the workshops held in
February, March and April of 1990. Following initial public
hearings at the Planning Commission, workshops for the Mayor
and Common council were held from December 1990 through
February 1991. The changes are the results of workshops with
the Mayor and Common council, the Planning commission, the
public, and special interest groups. Most changes represent
the result of negotiation, compromise and concensus. Other
changes include corrections of spelling and typographical
errors, corrections to type style and format and additions or
deletions to insure consistency among tables, charts and
text.
It is important to adopt the Development Code prior to the
end of April, 1991. When the General Plan was adopted June
2, 1989, it was implemented by an Urgency ordinance which was
set to expire June 1, 1990. The Urgency Ordinance was
extended to June 1, 1991. The maximum amount of time to
operate under an urgency ordinance is 24 months, therefore no
further extensions can be adopted. If the Development Code
is not adopted by the end of April, 1991, the effective date
of the ordinance (30 days following final reading) will be
after the expiration of the Urgency Ordinance. Should that
occur, development regulations for the city would revert back
to Titles 18 and 19 of San Bernardino Municipal Code. Many
provisions of those Titles are inconsistent with the General
Plan.
